You can keep your anti-Christian spiritualists.
My point was not made very well.
I mean that the churches where I live are filled to the brim with people who go because it is what they do down here. But a significant number could not tell you the difference between the old and new testaments, nor why they are “saved”, nor what they are saved from.
Meanwhile, there is a significant number of Christians that have had it with organized religion. We still go to church but most of the real ‘spiritual growth’ comes from reading His word, prayer, and discussion among ourselves.
Church here is more of a cultural thing. It is often religion without the spirituality. That is all I was trying to say.
I separate Christianity from man-made religion.
Al;l that being said, you are right about spirituality being all over the board, but so is religion. We have Christian, Mormon, Catholic, Islam, Buddhism, etc.
Jesus is my savior. That’s all that matters.
My church is losing ten people per day via the obituary column.
Yet my fellow Catholic FReepers seem to be consumed with combing through thousands of pages of Canon Law written in Latin, trying to find some sort of gotcha loophole that can be used to impeach Pope Francis.
They’re as delusional as the Jill Stein recount people (and frankly missing some much bigger points).
